STEP BY STEPApplication Guide

A comfortable, secure fit starts with proper preparation, the correct press-on size, and the right Adhesive Tab.

Before Application

  • Clean and dry your natural nails.
  • Remove any oil or residue.
  • Gently push back your cuticles.
  • Choose the correct press-on size for each nail.

Choose Your Adhesive Tabs

Choose based on your natural nail-bed shape:

  • Curved nail beds → Thin Adhesive Tabs
  • Flat nail beds → Thick Adhesive Tabs

Choose tabs for fit—not wear time.

Applying Your Nails

  1. Apply the selected Adhesive Tab to your natural nail.
  2. Make sure the tab sits flat without touching the surrounding skin.
  3. Align the press-on near the cuticle.
  4. Press firmly across the entire nail.

Wear Time

  • Adhesive Tabs are best replaced daily.
  • Depending on application and activity, they may stay in place for up to 3 days.
  • Lifting may begin after Day 1.
  • For longer wear, including 7+ days, use Professional Nail Glue, sold separately.

Actual wear time varies depending on application and daily activity.

HOW TORemoval Guide

Warm-water soaking helps soften the Adhesive Tabs for a gentler removal.

  1. Fill a bowl with warm, soapy water.
  2. Soak your nails for 10–15 minutes, or until the Adhesive Tabs begin to soften.
  3. Gently loosen the edges with the included cuticle stick.
  4. Slowly lift the press-on from the sides.
  5. If you feel resistance, soak again—never pull or force the nail off.

After removal, clean off any remaining adhesive before storing your press-on nails.

Gentle removal helps protect your natural nails and preserve your press-ons for future wear.

TIPSNail Care & Storage

After removal:

  • Clean off any remaining adhesive.
  • Store your press-on nails in the original container.
  • Keep them away from moisture and excessive heat.
  • Use fresh Adhesive Tabs for your next application.

Proper care helps preserve the design and finish for future wear.

TIPSFit & Comfort Tips

Choosing the Right Size

The press-on should cover your natural nail without pressing against the skin or sidewalls.

If you are between sizes, choose the larger size and lightly file the edges if needed.

Understanding Your Nail-Bed Shape

  • Curved nail beds → Thin Adhesive Tabs
  • Flat nail beds → Thick Adhesive Tabs

Choose tabs for fit—not wear time.

Check the Fit

If a press-on shifts, creates pressure at the sidewalls, or lifts at the edges, remove it and reassess both the size and Adhesive Tab choice.

Making Small Adjustments

Lightly file the edges or length if adjustment is needed.
